Remove everything from last occurence

2015-12-23T21:00:52-04:00

Will this remove "-" in addition to everything after it?

Are you familiar with using the
.tcl
command in the partyline?

If not, perhaps what I put in my post is not something you instantly recognize, and you need to look that up and get familiar with it. It is very handy, at times.

??
That's copy-n-paste, in my post above. It shows you exactly what it does.

Better yet, experiment with it in a script on your own bot.

If it doesn't do what you wanted, then most likely it means that I didn't understand what you actually wanted.

Let us know how it goes.

From the partyline in a bot of mine:

Code:

[09:18]  .set text abc-def-ghi-jkl-mno-pqr-stu-vwx-yz[09:18]  [14:18:30] #jacky# set text abc-def-ghi-jkl-mno-pqr-stu-vwx-yz[09:18]  Ok, set.[09:18]  .tcl regsub -start [string last \- $text] {\-.*} $text ""[09:18]  Tcl: abc-def-ghi-jkl-mno-pqr-stu-vwx

I hope this helps.

Trying my hand at some regex. I'm trying to take a string and remove everything after the last occurrence of and symbol.
I'm using

Code:

regsub {\-.*} $text ""

but it only works if there is only one occurrence of "-" but if text has more than one "-" it removing everything from the first occurrence back. Any help?
I have tried to use string and trim right but that doesn't help either

Code:

string range $text 0 [string last \- $text]-1
